On the Greek-Turkish land border refugees are systematically refouled
with brutal, shocking and systematic violations of human rights: ‘When
they left us in the Turkish waters they made waves again and six of us –
all men – fell into the sea. The Greeks saw that, but they didn’t help,
they just left.’ PRO ASYL documents these systematic pushback in the
report “Pushed Back – systematic human rights violations against
refugees in the aegean sea and the greek-turkish land border”. With few
exceptions, all documented pushback took place in the area of
​​operations of Frontex. PRO ASYL raises the question of the involvement
of Frontex on the human rights violations and calls: Frontex must end
its operations in Greece.
